Camino Cristales
There is an old mule track that runs north from Albuñol up into the Alpujarras. This connects to the Camino Real, the main throughfare between Almería and Granada before there were any roads. Fish and other foods used to be taken from the sea into the mountains this way, earning Albuñol the title of "The Gateway to the Alpujarras". In the 12th/14th centuries, the flourishing silk production of the Alpujarran terraces would have also used these routes.
